A friend who lives in faraway lands where they don't have to lock up the cheese at night and who has marvelled at my tales of the cheese-vault at the 24-hour Supervalu on Davie just sent me this story:

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver police have caught the man they believe stole items from a sick patient at Vancouver's Children's Hospital.

Yesterday, police received a call from the Safeway on Davie Street about a man stealing a large amount of cheese. The cheese culprit ended up being 39 year old Bryan John Laidlaw. A warrant had been issued for his arrest following the theft of electronic equipment last Monday from a teenager's hospital room.

He's now facing a number of charges, including theft.

I've also seen cheese changing hands at the ad hoc street market in front of the bottle depot on lower Hastings.
